Student Application (English)

Thank you for your interest in tutoring with the Kids At Heart program! The Kids at Heart Program provides tutoring and mentoring services for low-income students in grades Kindergarten through 12th grade. Clients can receive virtual tutoring services or in-person tutoring at partnering tutoring sites. Volunteers commit to tutoring one student for a minimum of one hour a week during the academic school year.

Step 1. Fill out the Application Form
If you are enrolling multiple children into the program, please submit one applications per student. All information collected is confidential. Demographic information is only used in aggregate and to inform funders. UPLIFT does not discriminate on the basis of any identity group.

Step 2. Phone Interview with UPLIFT
After submitting this online form, the UPLIFT Student Services Manager will reach out to the guardian to confirm the information. The UPLIFT Student Services Manager will search for an available tutor that will be a good fit and notify the guardian when one has been identified.

Step 3. Complete the Student Assessment & Schedule Tutoring
When a tutor has been identified to work with the student, the UPLIFT Student Services Manager will schedule a student reading assessment, and coordinate the start date for tutoring.

CONFIDENTIALITY AND MANDATED REPORTING: I understand that all information pertaining to my child is confidentially between UPLIFT staff, the guardian, the school, and the assigned volunteer tutor.
